Brekken and?

We have a son named Brekken, so we like unusual names. Brekken is a lovely village in Norway (not where we got his name from) but it's unusual, but still pronounceable. That's what we're looking for, any ideas?

I like the sound of Brekken. And it's several billion times better than Teddie-Blue

This!

I think a scandi type name would work well. Other names i like that may work are Arran and Brodie.

Lovely baby Smile

If it's Norwegian names you are after, I recently read the Red River of the North series by L. Snelling about the Norwegian pioneers in Dakota.
Some of the male Norwegian names in the books were: Roald, Thorliff, Haaken

I like it because it sounds like Bracken. So I'd go for something similar-
Reed
Heathcliff
Oak
Moss (Ilove this)
Bay

I love Brekken! What about Apollo? Axel is lovely too! Xx

I really like Brekken. It's got a lovely sound to it.

For boys I'd suggest:
Rowan
Oakley
Torben
Brome

For girls:
Romily
Indigo
Xanthe
Fenn

I'm not keen on Maverick - it's one of those names that's heavily suggestive of a certain type of character and could be a lot to live up to. Also the shortening to Mav. Brekken is a name that suggests your child can be anything he wants...Maverick suggests he will be shoe-horned into being a bit of a rebel and will probably rebel against this rebellenous and become an actuary or a tax inspector instead.

Maverick- a bit too Top Gun maybe? First thing I thought of.
Had a daughter earlier this year, picked a v.unusual name for her- and everyone who asks thinks it's lovely.
So along the Scandi theme.... Bjorn is nice, or Ragnar (thinking "Vikings") and to any MNers who haven't watched it.... Give it a go Wink
